Need Help!!!! Changing body slots for armor mod

[Lastshadow95]

So i found a piece of armor included in a mod that i liked, howerver i didnt like that you hade to be wearing the shorts for it to conform to the body. So i was trying to figure out how to change the chest piece of the armor to the body slot and have it show up in game. I don't really know anything at all about nifscope, and very little about creation kit. after editing some settings in the .nif file and the creation kit i managed to get the armor to show up in game, but now the body textures are still missing. Im at a loss of what to do and i cant find a tutorial online for help.

I changed slots on a few things and used this guide:

I'm not sure why your body textures have vanished. Some armour pieces include a body with them, so you're effectively equipping both the item and a replacement body that fits it at once, so I'm assuming something's going wrong with that somehow. That part's a bit over my head, but that guide helped me get other things sorted out. I'm not sure it deals with the main body slot - I've never fiddled with that myself - but it might be worth a look. Hope it helps.
